OUR MISSION

Jetpac (Justice Education Technology Political Advocacy Center) seeks to build a strong American Muslim political infrastructure and increase our community’s influence and engagement.

We will take our place at the table across all levels of government.

Our philosophy of change is rooted in a community-based approach, grassroots mobilization, civics training, and technology application. We have developed our own training curriculum, as well as proprietary social media technology and automation tools, to give our Fellows the skills and resources they need to win elections.

WHY JETPAC?

For generations, American Muslims have committed the majority of attention and resources on the construction of brick-and-mortar infrastructure projects—houses of worship, mosques, and Islamic centers—to establish a community base.

Building an American Muslim political infrastructure has fallen by the wayside.

American Muslims have been largely absent from politics. We are now living with the consequences:  lack of political representation, discriminatory policies, Islamophobic rhetoric, and a 600% increase in hate crimes against American Muslims since 2014.

Despite a population of over 3.3 million Muslims in the U.S., fewer than 300 hold elected office, with only two at the Congressional level.
